Born-Infeld theory is the non-linear generalization of Maxwell electrodynamics. It naturally arises as the low-energy effective action of open strings, and it is also part of the world-volume effective action of D-branes. The N=1 and N=2…
The dynamical properties of the gauge theory of Born-Infeld type action, which is expected as the high-energy effective theory, are investigated by adding a complex scalar field to this gauge system. Especially the Coleman-Weinberg…
We give a confirmation of U-duality of type II superstring by discussing mass spectrum of the BPS states. We first evaluate the mass spectrum of BPS solitons with one kind of R-R charges. Our analysis is based on the 1-loop effective action…
By explicit calculations of four-field couplings, we observe that the higher derivative corrections to the DBI action in flat space-time, can be either in a covariant form or in a T-duality invariant form. The two forms are related by a…

We derive leading terms in the effective actions describing the coupling of bulk supergravity fields to systems of arbitrary numbers of Dp-branes and D(p+4)-branes in type IIA/IIB string theory. We use these actions to investigate the…
We study D-brane actions in non-relativistic string theory. We consider single D-brane and analyse its properties under T-duality. We also derive an action for N D8-branes and also for lower dimensional D-branes through T-duality…

We derive the noncommutative Dirac-Born-Infeld action for the $D$-brane, which governs dynamics of $D$-brane with a NS-NS $B$-field in the low energy regime. Depending on some details of the path integral prescriptions, both ordinary…
In any Abelian gauge theory with an action periodic in the link variables one can perform a duality transformation not only in the partition function, but also in correlation functions including Polyakov loops. The calculation of…
The use of master actions to prove duality at quantum level becomes cumbersome if one of the dual fields interacts nonlinearly with other fields. This is the case of the theory considered here consisting of U(1) scalar fields coupled to a…
Double field theory describes a massless subsector of closed string theory with both momentum and winding excitations. The gauge algebra is governed by the Courant bracket in certain subsectors of this double field theory. We construct the…
We propose a method for constructing pairs of nonsupersymmetric gauge theories related by S-duality. Starting from a known S-duality of supersymmetric theories realized on the worldvolume of D3 branes in type IIB string theory, a new…
We find the terms in the nonabelian world-volume action of a system of many Dp-branes which describe the leading coupling to all type II supergravity background fields. These results are found by T-dualizing earlier results for D0-branes,…
We make Hamiltonian analyses of the new set of dual bosonic $p$-brane (including string) actions which contain high non-linearity. The difficulties exist in two basic steps of the Hamiltonian procedure, that is, in calculating canonical…
We propose that the effective field theories of certain wrapped D-branes are given by topological actions based on Born-Infeld theory. In particular, we present a Born-Infeld version of the Abelian Donaldson-Witten theory. We then consider…
